Xie Qian's mansion.

Chen Xi is already a regular visitor to the Xie family. He doesn't even need to invite him. Just sign up for a name, and the Xie family will respectfully welcome him into the door, send him to Xie Qian's study room and then give him a cup of hot tea, and then do whatever he wants.

Only Xie Qian could do such a thing when he asked someone to come to his house in advance. Perhaps because Xie’s mansion did not come to guests often, the courtesy of the mansion was a little negligent. Of course, it was also possible that Chen Xi’s official position was too low and it was not worth the Xie family to mobilize them.

Chen Xi felt more and more that entering Xie’s house was similar to returning to his own house.

Chen Xi did not only know Xie Qian at the Xie family, but also his second son and eldest granddaughter. It was difficult for Xie Hengnu to come out in the boudoir. However, when Xie Pi heard that Chen Xi was coming, he treated Chen Xi as half a gentleman and always came to receive her.

After the ceremony, Xie Pi sat down and said, "My father asked Mr. Chen to come over. He must be a key task in the court. He should not disturb him, but... the students have many academic matters to ask for advice."

Chen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

In addition to following Xie Qian's instructions, when he came to Xie's family, he didn't know when he started working as a tutor... In addition to asking him about his mental studies, Xie Pi would even ask Chen Xi for advice when he encountered difficulties in preparing for the provincial examination on weekdays.

What Xie Pi asked was mainly about the previous provincial examination questions in Shuntian Prefecture and Yingtian Prefecture, which was equivalent to asking Chen Xi to have a "pre-examination real test drill". However, Chen Xi has been put down on the imperial examination for more than a year. When facing these four book questions and five classics, it often takes a while to think about it before breaking the questions, and then tell Xie Pi his own ideas.

Xie Pi always lit up his eyes whenever he heard this, and he sighed that he had benefited a lot.

"Ahem."

Just as Xie Pi asked questions endlessly, the sound of Xie Qian clearing his throat came from the door of the study. Chen Xi and Xie Pi hurriedly stood up to salute.

Xie Qian threw the official document under his armpits onto the coffee table, raised his face and said, "Go back to your room, don't go out before the provincial examination next year."

The strict fathers in the world are probably the same. Xie Qian is very strict with his son, but he is not at home for a long time and has no time to teach his son.

In fact, Xie Pi is now a student, and he starts a family and has a certain status at home. But in Xie Qian's eyes, his son is always a dissatisfied boy and needs to be scolded from time to time to make him focus on learning.

Xie Pi left in disappointment, and when he was gone, he didn't see anyone else's sight. Xie Qian looked at Chen Xi angrily and said, "Why are you so familiar with my husband's family?"

Xie Qian ran into Chen Xi and talked to Xie Hengnu. Now he met Xie Pi again to ask Chen Xi for teaching, which made Xie Qian feel that I am "inducing a wolf into the house"? Why is my family and a guest better than the head of my family? Who will come to pay tribute when I come back on weekdays?

Chen Xi thought to himself, who made you value official duties and neglect your family's feelings?

"Gei Xie invited the students to come, what's the matter?" Chen Xi saw that Xie Pi seemed to be sulking and took the initiative to talk.

Xie Qian said: "The queen suddenly had a serious illness yesterday. The specific diagnosis was told to you, did your wife Xie tell you after she returned?"

"Yes." Chen Xi nodded.

Xie Qian asked: "How did you say it?"

Isn’t this a question knowingly? Everyone knows it’s poisoning, and it seems that it’s not food poisoning or biting by poisonous insects, but someone stabbed someone with poisonous needles.

Chen Xidao: "It is said that the cause of the prince's disease is similar, it is eaten by snakes, insects, rats and ants. It seems that the palace needs to remove the poison..."

I'm right, it's the poisonous creatures "bite". Now the palace is still searching for poisoned "worms". It's just how you always understand what I said.

Xie Qian asked, "Do you know what poison it is?"

Chen Xi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Xie Qian stared at Chen Xi with a little anger and said, "You don't know, but you can save the prince and the queen?"

Chen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Old Master Xie said it wrong. It was not because he was rescued by the emperor, but because of the imperial physicians. He was just offering plaster to remove toxins from the body for the two noble people. Perhaps only part of it can be removed to alleviate the symptoms, but the remaining poison in the body can only be resolved by conditioning..."

In the words, no matter what poison my plaster is, as long as there is a wound, it can remove the toxins around it from the wound. It is not a matter of taking ten or ten feet, nor can it be eradicated. It only removes some of the toxins and pulls the patient back from the brink of death. The subsequent care and treatment is the responsibility of the imperial physician and has nothing to do with me.

Xie Qian pondered slightly. Although the truth was said so, he came to ask Chen Xi for specific poisons. If he admitted that Chen Xi said it was reliable, he would not be able to continue asking.

Xie Qian said coldly: "Who knows if you are looking for someone to poison..."

Chen Xi felt a little nervous... This is a good intention to do bad things! No matter how you, Xie Qian, don't understand right or wrong, you shouldn't have thought that I was the one who gave the poison, right?

Chen Xi's tone turned cold and he frowned and protested: "Gei Master Xie cannot be wronged for no reason."

Xie Qian said: "It's not that anyone wants to sincerely accuse you, but no one can solve this poison except you. This is enough to arouse doubts. Your Majesty is angry now. I have to mediate for you so that you can be safe and sound."

Chen Xi sneered...

I have to thank you if you say that?

If you hadn't caused me trouble, I would have doubted it if I took the initiative to deliver it to my door?

Zhu Youzing is not the kind of emperor who is indistinguishable from right and wrong. After all, when his son was poisoned, Chen Xi had just passed the top scorer and had no chance to enter the palace gate. Even if he had the intention to poison, there would be no way.

When the doctors were helpless and just waited for the palace to add a new mourning, Chen Xi stepped forward and successfully rescued the person from the brink of death. If he blamed him for this, it would be contrary to benevolence, righteousness and morality!

Those who are emperors must also be reasonable.

But once people are anxious, they are prone to think more.

Zhu Youzhang repeatedly wondered why a new top student could take out a plaster to save his son, but those who were the emperor's kindness for generations could not, but the priests of the national medical practitioners of the Ming Dynasty were so unbearable? The case has not made any progress now, and the only breakthrough fell on Shen Xi...

Even if you, Chen Xi, don’t know who poisoned it, you should know what the poison is, right? It’s easier to investigate this way.

The result is that I don’t know anything!

Chen Xi asked, "How is the queen's condition now?"

Xie Qian glanced at Chen Xi coldly, as if he was blaming Chen Xi for not reporting it, but he still explained patiently: "The queen is protected by God, and there is no major problem at the moment, but it needs to be well conditioned, as short as more than a month, as long as three or five months..."

"I guess all the people the queen has come into contact with recently have taken down, right?"

Xie Qian pointed to Chen Xi: "You kid, you pretend to behave on weekdays. You don't know where you learned so many pedantic things at this age. You know what's going on, but you always want to hide it... You are right, Kunning Palace, the people of the Eastern Palace, etc., have all been replaced, and the princess' servants have been thoroughly investigated... Looking through the medical records, I found that the princess' condition was similar to that of the queen and the prince..."

Chen Xi thought to himself that it is basically confirmed that it was artificially poisoned.

Then the case cannot be small.

Chen Xi asked, "Was anyone in the palace who passed away due to similar diseases before?"

To poison, you must always find the subject of the experiment.

If the poisoned person is outside the palace, it will be much more difficult to track down. However, if the poisoned person is in the inner palace and wants to find a living creature to test the dose of poison, it is unlikely that kittens and puppies will not raise these things in the palace. The most likely one is to find a palace maid or eunuch.

Even the queen and the prince were poisoned and almost died with the care of the imperial physician, let alone the palace maids and eunuchs who might be poisoned? These people were poisoned in one way, and they must have died inexplicably.

Xie Qian said: "It is under investigation... I didn't expect that you have a little bit of a mind to investigate and judge the jail. These days, the murderer is being investigated in the palace. You don't have to go to the Eastern Palace to serve as a service. First, you will do a good job in receiving the envoys and demonstrating the cannons to Your Majesty. When will you let you enter the palace and talk, and wait for me to notify me!"

Chen Xi knew that he was a suspect with a mentality of not being indifferent, and even deprived him of his qualification to give the prince. He was so heartbroken that he thought about it.

But it was not finally a dismissal and investigated!

Isn’t it just that you don’t have to teach to naughty kids?

Do you think I love being the teacher of the prince? Among the students in the world, the most unreasonable is the only one of the royal families, and I am not angry enough for me.

...

...

When Chen Xi returned home and talked about the matter with Xie Yuner, Xie Yuner was immediately filled with righteous indignation.

"I had known that I shouldn't have entered the palace. I was concerned about the life and death of the queen. My husband offered medicine to save people. Those who became emperors must be unreasonable, right?"

Since Xie Yuner is a wife, she only has the rise and fall of her husband in her mind... She is already one with Chen Xi. When her husband is prosperous, she will prosper, and when her husband is declining, she will also be unlucky.

Chen Xi sighed: "How many people in power can speak with justice? It is worthy of thanks for not checking me now!"

Xie Yuner felt aggrieved when she thought of Li Dongyang's criticism of the Xie family. She felt a little wronged. It was because the Xie family cured people and offended the powerful and powerful, which changed her life. Now the aftermath has not yet dissipated. If she provoked a greater powerful and powerful family, and it was the most difficult royal family in the world, she would be crying without tears.

Chen Xidao: "The queen is in danger and his majesty should feel a little relieved. The eldest princess is gone. Since it is found that the eldest princess' disease is related to poisoning, it will not be involved with me. At that time, I was still unknown... I was afraid that the person who poisoned the poisoning behind me would still refuse to give up. Now I know that plaster is removed by poisoning with trauma. The next step may change the way of poisoning."

Xie Yuner is proficient in medical theory and of course understands what Chen Xi said.

Use poison needles to poison, but do not want to be exposed too clearly and are discovered by people. The dose of poison is usually not very large. This can prolong the time of poisoning, making it impossible to trace. On the other hand, toxins accumulate in the body, triggering complex reactions, and detoxification is not easy.

But the problem is that the dose of poisoning is too small and cannot achieve the expected results. Now that things are exposed, the thief will not be so polite if they want to poison them again. Anyway, they are exposed, so they simply increase the dose or seek other ways, and directly assassinate.

Xie Yuner was a little resentful: "It is rare that my husband is still thinking about the safety of the royal family at this time."

Chen Xi didn't want to do something for the emperor's family, but felt it was strange, because there was no record of this poisoning incident in history. It either did not exist or exist, but it was buried by history.

Since this matter is likely to be one of the butterfly effects caused by his arrival, Chen Xi does not want to change the historical process.

At the same time, seeking knowledge also prompted Chen Xi to urgently wonder who had such great courage and ability to poison the eldest princess, princess and queens in the heavily guarded palace inner garden. If it is really a struggle for power, isn’t it more effective to kill the emperor?

But now it seems that they are all targeting the people around the emperor.

The emperor only has Empress Zhang, one wife, and there is no love killing...

But Chen Xi thought about it and it might not seem...
